We have the build by following the procedure in the link below

Load the image to the board and Linux comes up OK, but there is no vi in the image. We go to directory and try to reconfigure the busybox:

~/work/lx2160a\_build/build/ubuntu/buildroot/output/build/busybox-1.31.1

and run

make menuconfig

but we get these:  
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o  
:0:12: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory  
compilation terminated.  
scripts/Makefile.host:120: recipe for target ‘scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o’ failed

What is the procedure to reconfigure busybox and rebuild it?

You need to make your BuildRoot config changes in this file [lx2160a\_build/lx2160acex7\_defconfig at master · SolidRun/lx2160a\_build · GitHub](https://github.com/SolidRun/lx2160a_build/blob/master/configs/buildroot/lx2160acex7_defconfig) and rerun the runme.sh script.
